[Genealib] Question for librarians in historical societies

[Cynthia Van Ness]

I wanted to toss out a question to my colleagues who work in
historical societies.  Do any of you have "Friends" groups who
specifically support the library's collections, programs, needs,
etc.?  I understand that every member of the society is in
effect a Friend.  I was just wondering if it is asking too much
to form yet another entity that has the potential to ask them
for even more financial support.

"Everyone claims to want a city, but no one here wants city living.  City living by its definition is crowded.  It is tolerant of other people.  It is dependent on a sophisticated population that makes a hundred compromises daily so that they can benefit from the collective energy that a city generates."     --Robert N. Davis, Jr. (1955-2007)
